In a small saucepan, combine the rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes.
While the rice cooks, toss the chicken strips in a small bowl with the ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil to coat evenly.
Bring an inch of water to a boil in a large pot fitted with a steamer basket. Place the chicken mixture in a heat-proof dish that fits inside the basket. Cover and steam for 4 minutes, then place the bok choy on top of the chicken. Cover and steam for 5 to 6 minutes more. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Fluff the rice and place it on the plate. Arrange the steamed chicken and bok choy alongside the rice, pouring any flavorful juices from the steaming dish over the chicken. Garnish with the scallions.
